Friday Frocks: Garden Party

By Kirsten|March 9th, 2012|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

I don’t care what that little groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, said. It feels like spring outside and I’m ready to throw one heck of a garden party. Should your teacup be full of tea or champagne… it doesn’t really matter. Find your most floral frock and accessorize with the most gigantic hat your pretty little head can hold up and a pair of chunky heels (so as to avoid sinking into the sod). Grab your girlfriends for a day of gabbing and grubbing… just don’t fall down the rabbit hole.

Friday Frocks: Lots o’ Dots

By Kirsten|March 2nd, 2012|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

Polka dots may automatically elicit thoughts of sweet baby dalmatians and Minnie Mouse, but this prissy pattern can be much more sophisticated when paired with modern accessories or worn in an unexpected shape. Dots don’t have to be in the typical black and white variation, but if you do choose to go the traditional route, now is the perfect opportunity to incorporate a punch of neon with your accessories. Though dots do seem straightforward, look for them in different colors, fabrics, and dimensions to make them all your own.

Friday Frocks: The Highs and Lows

By Kirsten|February 17th, 2012|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

Should you wear a long dress? Or something short and sassy? Can’t make up your mind? You don’t have to! Recently I’ve seen an influx of frocks that allow you to wear both. Short in the front and long in the back. Is this the mullet of dresses? Maybe. Hm… the mullet suddenly makes so much more sense to me now. Weird. These schizophrenic hemmed frocks appear to be the perfect answer for an outdoor or afternoon wedding or a semi-formal party. When you’re wearing both how can you really go wrong?

The flirtiest frock a girl can own is the type that isn’t meant for the public to see. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t matter if anyone ever sees it as long as she feels good when she’s wearing it. It’s the prettiest, dantiest, most feminine frock in her closet and whether she does her dishes in it or finds herself showing it off, she’ll feel like the most beautiful woman alive.
